WATERFRONT-15 min to BOS/3BdRm/2BA
Thomas and Jenny’s airbnb was a great and spacious place to decompress after a family event and enjoy the riverview and the birds-including swans and their cygnets! The kitchen has anything you could possibly need for cooking if you were there for a longer stay. The house is awesome-wood floors and high ceilings and plenty of couch space and a dining room. We didn’t use the back deck due to the weather, but it would be a nice place to relax on a sunny day. Also, the king bed was extremely comfortable! The location was convenient for us to walk to visit Moody Street (less than a mile) but the house is tucked in next to an office park so there is not as much of a neighborhood feel in the immediate area-but the river views out back and the comfort of the home more than make up for that! Thomas and Jenny responded right away to our questions. They are strict with how many people can visit during the day (no more than 4) to keep noise down for their neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful lakeside retreat
I booked the lakehouse for 4 nights to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. It was the perfect and relaxing celebration which was what we needed. The lakehouse was so beautiful, so quiet, peaceful, cozy and so relaxing. We just felt right at home. The instant we walked in and saw the view of the lake from the kitchen and living room we felt so relaxed right away. The home had everything you needed and was great place to unwind and relax. It was so clean, pristine and had all the necessities you needed. The home was decorated nicely showing their travels which we loved. The beds were so cozy, nice and comfortable, it felt like it hugged you. They had an office room that had a bed which was perfect for me to work from. We loved the lakehouse so much that we were sad to leave. But we will definitely be back. Haley was great, no wonder she is a superhost. She was so accommodating, responsive and so friendly. Thank you Haley for a great stay. We can’t wait to come back again.

Pawtuckaway Lake Cottage
A great cozy place to stay for my grandson's graduation. This house was perfect, with a nice big deck outside. The hosts were amazing to work with and were very helpful. Location was great, looks exactly like the pictures. Highly recommend staying here. A short walk down to a cool little beach at the end of the street.

Lakefront House Boston, Plymouth, Cape Cod
Absolutely beautiful views & setting overlooking the water. We loved our short, but very lovely stay here. The kids (and us!) loved the finished downstairs area w/ bedroom and bathroom!

Charming Lake Cottage access Boston and Providence
We stayed here for a wedding at the local venue “the Lake Pearl.” David’s place was great. Very cozy and unique. Lots of beautiful art. We enjoyed it thoroughly. He was responsive to anything that we needed. Very private and nature filled backyard. Right up the road from the lake itself. Just as a note for those with little ones. The loft space albeit great for most doesn’t have a railing or wall blocking someone from the floor edge. Again. Fine for most but something to be aware of. We were ok with it but didn’t realize that when we chose the home.

Private Waterfront home
The home was exactly as described. There were plenty of towels, linen and beds for a group of 10. The home was spotless and was very comfortable. Anna-Lisa was an amazing host. She provided clear instructions for entry into the home, offered lots of recommendations and was very quick to respond to all inquiries. The she shed was a bonus for any mom needing a few moments away.

Beautiful Lakefront Vacation
Donna is fantastic and if your looking for a charming New England spot this is it! We Are very satisfied with this home.

Hidden Gem near Boston w/ Private lake access
Absolutely incredible stay. The host was very helpful. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the lake is stunning. The basement was so so fun- darts, ping pong, billiards, and more games. We miss the house already!

Tuxbury Suite at the Amesbury Farmhouse
We stayed here for a week and used it as a home location for day trips each day. We easily got to antique stores in New Hampshire and Maine and we were close enough to Boston to get to Mount Auburn and Salem. Everything was just as pictured on the website and our host responded to us very quickly whenever we had a question. Absolutely enjoyed being able to watch the sunset from our room and enjoy the wonderful bird songs in the morning and the frogs and crickets at night.

Cozy & Peaceful Independent Master Suite Weymouth
Home away from!! I grew up in Weymouth and went home for nephew’s graduation. This place was very comfortable and loved the location. Was right in the middle of everything from Boston to local suburbs. Thankyou Rofleza.

ABC - Apartment by the Sea
This cozy space in a beautiful coastal neighborhood was perfect for a 1-night stay for myself, my husband, and our two dogs. Hosts were friendly and easy to work with. We found everything we needed.

Everything matched the listing. Comfortable, up-to-date unit in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Would stay again.

Modern Apt in Boston|Near Subway|Free Parking|Safe

Waterfront 2 Bedroom on private cove in Salem NH.
This place is beautiful! Hope to come back again in the future!

The Art Experience II
Daniel’s Airbnb was a cozy and creative space convenient to our plans with friends in Dracut and Topsfield, MA. We needed to check in very late at night and Daniel made sure that lights were on for us prior to arrival and we knew the passcode ahead of time. We appreciated that the bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Daniel’s Airbnb is one that we would definitely book again.

Central Square Lux Studio 2-Queen beds MIT/Harvard

The Little House - a historic New England cottage.
This is a lovely home in a perfect location. Taking morning coffee on the screened-in porch overlooking the pond was easily the best part of our days. We very much hope to return soon.

Waterfront Cottage on Chauncey Creek
This Airbnb is an absolute hidden gem! It is a peaceful spot surrounded by nature in an convenient location. Inside, it's cozy and feels just like home. It’s very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable, and it’s very quiet. The spacious outdoor area is a dream, offering so many spots to sit with loved ones right by the water, from the fire pit to the dock and deck. The photos don't even begin to capture its beauty. We made lifelong memories in the backyard. The surrounding towns are packed with natural beauty and history, there is so much to do and so many lobster rolls to be eaten (I probably gained a few pounds exploring all the delicious food in Portsmouth). Andrew was an incredibly responsive and helpful host, full of good recs and making the whole experience seamless. The check out process was especially easy compared to some of my recent Airbnb’s, it was really nice being able to check out of an without having to do a laundry list of chores first 😅

Little Red Lake House
Laura was an amazing host! She was quick to respond to some things that popped up that we needed help with. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The area is very peaceful, and we used the kayaks daily. While there weren't "extra" items like salt and pepper or any seasonings for cooking or larger bottles of shampoo and soap, the kayaks made up for it! I was very concerned about one bathroom for 4 people and the rooms being so close together, but none of my concerns became an issue. This home is a great value for the area, and we highly recommend it!

Lakeside Cottage w/ Private Dock
Spent a peaceful fall weekend with my family at this beautiful lakefront cottage. We spent most of our time out on the dock or on the screened-in porch. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable rooms made us feel at home. Rebecca was a fantastic host - easy to communicate with, organized and very welcoming. Thanks for a five star stay!

Lakefront! Johnson Point Cottages - “Blueberry”
Just what we needed. Peace and quiet yet close to whatever you wanted to do. Excellent Restaurants, taverns, parks, sights were all there if you wanted. Dale and Sharon were exceptionally good hosts. They took us for a boat ride around Cobbetts Pond, allowed us use of kayaks and or canoe's which we took advantage of for some peaceful rides around the pond in the morning. Also did some fishing off the dock as well as sitting out for some morning coffee. if you want it Blueberry is close to it Thank you again Dale and Sharon for opening up your home to us.

Ponder Point waterfront cottage at Cobbetts Pond
We had a terrific long weekend stay at Ana's lake house. The view of the lake is unbeatable, and it was fun to take the kayaks out on the water. We also enjoyed the variety of games and puzzles in the house, and short drive (<10m) to Canobie Lake Park. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and Ana was a communicative host. Would definitely recommend this Airbnb!

Charming Waterfront Cottage Near Cambridge/Boston
We had an amazing & relaxing few days here! Close to everything and being right on the water is so peaceful. The house was spotless, bathroom was clean & the shower was warm! We would absolutely stay here again.

Lakefront Nature Getaway - Wood fired Cedar Sauna
Cozy spot with scenic views of Silver Lake. Our host Eric was responsive and provided detailed instructions on how to access the space and all of the perks included with the rental. Will definitely rebook if I ever find myself back in the area.
